Under high G loading the pilot is under extreme physical pressure, controlling the aircraft with a central control column would require more physical effort.. This was made easier in modern combat aircraft by putting the 'joystick' down on the right hand side of the pilot so he only has to move his hand and wrist to remain in control..
Then you will also have read that many pilots also 'piled in' because they were unable to retain control..
This effect you are looking for has many variables.. For instance, the shorter, stockier pilot was generaly able to withstand more G loading than a taller, slimmer pilot.. A pilots fitness level and more importantly his experience at being subjected to high G combat loads also has an impact..
Lets not forget 'combat fatigue'... It's not all black and white I'm afraid, there's many factors to consider if this is to be implemented.
As a side note... I've noticed that once in a blue moon, you still have control over the aircraft when blacked out... not very dramaticly controlable, but enough to occasionally save your ass (read: very small changes in 3d direction). I dont know if this is actually a bug with the game, or its intended to be like that... but it happens every now and again...
To be honest, Whiskey has a point, and I also think that the 'blacking out' feature is not exactly right in game either, but I suspect, to implement some of the factors I've mentioned above was maybe far to complicated for Oleg to model exactly, so we just have this generic effect so that everyone is equal..
In real life however, everyone wasn't equal, some pilots were able to sustain more than others..

We should somehow simulate the g force straining manauver that all fighter pilots are taught. It is exactly like being constipated and trying to take the biggest dump of you life don't you know..

A blue angels pilot that crashed recently blacked out because he didn't do this technique enough in a high g turn don't you know. It was the finding of a military air crash investigations board!
